Description

•	The starting system includes the battery, starter, solenoid switch, ignition switch, inhibitor switch (A/T), clutch pedal switch (M/T), ignition lock switch, connection wires and the battery cable.

•	When the ignition key is turned to the start position, current flows and energizes the starter motor's solenoid coil.

•	The solenoid plunger and clutch shift lever are activated, and the clutch pinion engages the ring gear. The contacts close and the starter motor cranks.

•	In order to prevent damage caused by excessive rotation of the starter armature when the engine starts, the clutch pinion gear overruns.

•	In conjunction with the ISG function, the starter motor must do a great deal more work. Therefore, the starter motor is configured for a significantly higher number of start cycles. The components of the starter motor have been adapted to the higher requirements.
